Re: Firehouse as an expression?

Thanks a lot, MikeNewYork! A so helpful reply! Although I guessed it could refer to "busyness", was not sure about "disorganized situation". Your answer clarified the meaning. And pointing out "the flurry of activity when an alarm goes off in a firehouse" solved the problem in my mind!

Blessings to you and yours!

Reason: I'd mistakenly wrote "but", after stating "although". Now it got corrected.

In a firehouse, every person knows exactly what he/she must do when a call comes in. Very impressive.
